What a wonderful day for babbling! In northern michigan it is cloudy and chilly. The cats are being lazy and so am I. Now I have something to look forward too!
Whoa! Shipping to Germany is $6.16. Hopefully the ebay source won't dry up. Mogli now has 21 mousies, so that should do him for a while.Amazon still sells mousies with real fur that rattle. I put a couple of packs of these in the Christmas box for the shelter kitties.

Sophie was being extra snuggly last night. She wanted lots of hugs and pets and received them. My sweet baby girl :9:
hahaha. I did the same thing. I was even counting the words when I sent someone a text.I remember the last babble post. I was so paranoid about having 15 words...I counted...on other threads. AND I had to stop myself from quoting people to say they didn't have 15 words LOL!
I also would have a panic moment when I realized I had posted a consecutive post...just to realize it was not the babble thread!
Nawth Virginny is still south of the Mason Dixon line. There were quite a few skirmishes there during the Civil War. When I lived in Maryland, also south of the Mason-Dixon line we went to Gettysburg to the Civil War area. It was so boring. just stones and plaques of who fought where and where they were from. The museums were interesting, but the road around the battlefield was windy and cold. I don't recommend going in February. It did have an ok campground
Lordy, Lordy, I have someone to drawl with! I 'spec some of ya'll won't have a clue what we're sayin if we get to goin real good. Nawth Virginny, huh? Dahlin, in my family, we don't talk about "north of the Mason Dixon line." You're a Yankee if you come from north of the Spanish moss line! My mama's family hail from a tiny town in South Georgia, and my Daddy's family are from Tuscumbia, Alabama. I actually lived in Indianapolis for two years, and my mama cried the entire time. You'da thought I was on the moon!
BTW...for those who don't know...people in the South only sound all the same to those of you who are not. We can pinpoint an accent, sometimes down to the city. Folks who were born and reared in Atlanta have an accent that is unlike any I've ever heard. It's in how they say "i" sounds, and I'm not really sure how to explain it or spell it phonetically. Let me see...ok...say "I" and listen when you do it. I'll bet there's almost an i-e sound to it. Now, cut it short and don't let any e sound come out. Just the plain i part. The closest I can come to it is, Idunno. said all as one word...that might give it to you. And that and a buck fifty will get you a cuppa at McDonalds.

I did the same thing! I also remember obsessively checking in as we got closer to the 500 mark and prize time. Once I even posted the winning post but couldn't think of anything to say so just typed gibberish and the prize went to the next post.hahaha. I did the same thing. I was even counting the words when I sent someone a text.
You got that all right @Mamanyt1953. In my defense I have to say I grew up near Robert E. Lee's home and next door to General Washington's. Don't tell, but I'm a member of the UDC. (Nobody up here knows what that is, so you're safe.) My father's family were from Tuscaloosa, but moved to Arkansas after TWBTS.
